@TadOlson, me too I love it in winter when it's frosty! I'm hoping for a white Christmas...we don't usually get them in England but I can hope
@emorrill, oops, I did message you but it's on your profile page, under activity. I just saw the message button and I've sent you a message now Hope it works
I'm finding it hard to keep up with all the pics so I have left awesomes instead I feel bad if I don't have time to comment on everybody's pics but there are just so many.
@PalmArrow
I totally forgot to hide the plumbob and thought bubble in that picture.XD
Way to ruin a capture lol.But thanks!
@emorrill
Just my speculation.XD I love guessing lol.
Your story is written nicely so far! I like Miriam, she seems so sweet!
I would love to have a personal advent calender! My BF and I should do that!
Officer was nice to not charge him with falsely calling 911, though technically she
was trespassing.XD
I know! Great bear is one of my favs, but Riverblossom(Yep sims 2) hills is just as pretty!
Its actually summer in my game(seasons got set back lol) But I figure I'd abandon Great Bear with a Bang
instead of just warping to a new world lol.
I wish I could pack up my house in my pocket as well.I'd plop myself down in Oregon with the mountains.
Yes its, odd.For some reason with Riverblossom, NRAAS is very limited with its features, however that was because it was disabled.
It wasn't actually my settings.I know with each world I start, I have to recustomize how I want them.When I went to do that
All the customizable stuff was missing...turns out for some reason the mod got disabled.XD
@Silverofdreams30
The mod got disabled for some reason.I was able to fix it.XD
He is a very handsome sim.Love his eyes!
@bekkasan
The house was temporary.I liked the yard and exterior, but the interior wasn't my style.
So I moved them into a new lot almost similar to Ryan's old house.I guess I get stuck on a certain style.XD
Yeah, I know when you start a new save/world.All your settings are back to default.I went to change whether kids get summer off or not, and the options were gone.I couldn't do rapid immigration either I couldn't adjust the fees for anything, couldn't adjust how many pets immigrants can have nothing.Turns out the mod didn't automatically enable, I had to manually enable it.
@meerkattime
Oh I love your asian/japanese build.Super cute!
Is it available to download?
@Charlottesmom
He's a good looking sim for sure!
I actually like the tattoos.:)
I haven't touched the sims 4 in forever, I just can't bring myself to play it for long periods of time.
I like some of the features such as the careers and dining out, but I feel I have more freedom with 3.
@Brandontaylor
I think I missed an update somewhere.
I thought Bryce had a girlfriend and he told Celeste about her?
He's flirting with Celeste again? Wow! Just like that she asks him to break
up with Courtney? Ouch.But that makes me wonder, if he breaks up with Courtney, whom he been with for
a few years, how easily would he dump Celeste.Celeste, careful poking fire.
@lanlyn
Your ship looks lovely!
Ouch, that had to hurt getting zapped
Nice to see love in even in the elderly!
For some reason when I saw your mummy folder I started singing "Thriller" in my head.XD
@MoonandStars83 I've enjoyed seeing the different pics you posted from your different saves. ...Becky Black's aqua-colored hair with the buns is fun! ...Glad that the Wright/Herman gardeners and housekeepers weren't glitching. Hope they continue that way. ...Cute Stabulous makeover for Arietta. ...Your new household looks like a nice mix of occults, perfect for an artist commune.
@TadOlson I thought your screenshots of the s3oc cloning app were interesting. I have that program downloaded, but I haven't used it as yet. I wasn't for sure what all it did. Thanks for sharing info about the app.
@Charlottesmom Nice Sims 4 sims. I haven't played it too much as I spend too much time on the gallery.
I like Sims 3 alot better myself.
@meerkattime Thanks for the comments.
Create a disposable sim you don't care about, lol. That way it doesn't matter.
I'm getting closer on that. I never really played online but I am for Celeste.
No it wasn't. At least I knew the town pretty good as my mom grew up here and her parents and grandparents lived here too.
Yeah I think Celeste may drop the shy trait before long, she's got a lot going on where she needs to talk to people.
Lol, after he got that girlfriend things went down hill that day.
I'm slowly working on upgrading her house as money allows. A better sink is on the list.
I guess the challenge is called the Ultimate Sim Challenge. The name escaped at the time I posted, lol
That's definitely true. She would just move on but she didn't know too many people and she isn't getting younger.
She's getting close to halfway there.
@bekkasan I hope so too. It was hard just getting him to do anything.
@CravenLestat Wow, Skylar and Rosa are looking good.
@emorrill I really am. I've always loved Christmas stories.
Miriam is a very good person not to give up on Hodge.
Lol, I didn't either until I got her in game. Craven was nice and sent me that hairstyle.
I always break sims up, lol. I keep forgetting to change my settings so that there are some single sims.
I hope you have a great day too and am looking forward to more of your story.
@Springfairy556 He did. Celeste talked to him about it and he changed his mind.
Yeah, that could be an issue for her. He can't completely be trusted.
Bryce didn't have a girlfriend at first, just a romantic interest. Then Celeste was just about to ask to go steady and he left. After he left, SP made Courtney his girlfriend.
***Not sure if there will be a Celeste update tonight. I didn't have a lot of time to play before supper so I didn't get many screenshots. I am getting ready to start the Super Sim challenge in a little bit, just have to do a few things before I start.
I started a new save with my OG sims 4 couple: Ryan Cole and Katherine Mooney(now Moore)
They're newly-weds and are planning a trip to France once I get them enough money for the trip. Ryan proposed on Leisure Day and they married at sunrise Saturday in the same spot where he proposed!

@lisa360 I found Your Dawnlight Adventures thread in Stories and Legacies. I have it bookmarked now and will read and give feedback on your latest chapters, starting with November's. Looking forward to reading more on your SS's life!
Cool... I hope you enjoy the updates over there...
The only issue not a biggie will upload sometimes with sign *Included* but unattached (Game fault not mine),is included but either will be not attached or backwards or even one half on.Simply takes a few seconds to put it on then save it to your bin you only have to do it once.The patterns for it will be in your metals category.
Other than that I do not use CC but do usually use all expansions and lots of store content so check item tab to make sure you have it all.
Thank you, I do not always remember going to check
the story thread but when I do I usually comment on everyone at the same time.
Lovely photos your female sim uses my real name lol they look great both of them. @CravenLestat
@msbeckycat I don't miss that part of putting seasons in! Great capture of the fire and getting put out. Sure hope she is ok.
That is a nice sentiment that they have each other.
@Silverofdreams30 Love the pics of your sims. They look like they are having fun dancing.
@lanlyn I will look for your threads over in CC today and bookmark them and get caught up. Your pics look great. Thanks for the info on the mummy build. @CravenLestat musta' missed my comment to him. I won't use it in my Bridgeport story, but will check it out with one of my other sim families and hopefully it is just missing deco stuff.
@HillyBeth Lovely pictures. Congrats on the proposal and wedding.
@Springfairy556 The farmhouse is beautiful. She shows her appreciation very nicely. Love the coffee shop. Dag, more robbers!
Love the shots of the wild horses visiting! The foal is adorable. The only way I know to stop sims from using your stuff is to put a fence up and lock the gate (no mod required) or use gohere mod from nraas (I think) and you can specify sims allowed to use the gate.
@king_of_simcity7 Pretty pics of Bridgeport. You must have a huge folder of scenery pictures.
Hello all. Just dropping by. No simming for me today. I haven't even launched the game. But I've been busy with other things. Also I got an unwelcome surprise this morning. The man who taught me how to make etchings died yesterday. I hadn't seen him for a few years, but back in September this year he had an exhibition of his paintings and I made a point of going to see it and spent an hour or so chatting with him and friends.
I'm starting to get ready for my drive north. It's just on 2 weeks away now. Plenty of floods and cyclones to go through now as the cyclone put the fires out apparently - but it was mostly rain by the time it hit the coast. Still did damage though. So far the road is open all the way up but I need it to stay that way for another couple of weeks.
Mickey and Mia went to the dog park today. There were a lot of dogs there and they seemed a bit confused. It's been such a long time since we went there regularly due to Mia's injury. She got into a bit of a scrap with a few other little dogs and started limping badly again so we went home. By the time we got home, about 5 minutes drive, she'd decided not to bother with the limp any more so it can't have been too bad an injury this time. Maybe she just got a fright.
Yesterday I managed to get my next video together. It isn't quite as I'd planned. I was going to record video of Oscar at the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island. But it was lagging badly so I got him to play with Mike for a while so they at least know each other. I wanted them to become friends but I decided not to fight the lag. I got Elouise to take Mike and the fluffy white dog to Lucky Palms. That's two gone from the totally overstuffed lot. The dog's owner has moved to Lucky Palms and left the dog behind because I like him and like seeing him roaming around the lot. But I my computer isn't coping with 23 sims including two large dogs in the household.
This is a picture of Snow, the fluffy white dog that used to live at the Chocolate Cake Island boarding school, I might get him back there one day.
I delivered the dog to Shirley. She was living alone in a tiny house in Lucky Palms. She has heaps of simoleans and the house was still default super low quality basic contents. So I gave her some nice new stuff to replace all the low value things it had already and added a few things for the dog and left them to it.
Oscar in the Chocolate Cake Island Boarding School
Then I moved Mike in with his parents. I came across him riding his bike to a park I didn't know existed. It is very pretty with red dirt and lots of cactus. Very colourful. He came across a few Sims I recognised and then his father turned up so he went and said hello to him. Then I merged him in with his family. They are living in a house I placed on an empty lot across the street from Heather's place. Mike's family home goes invisible so I have to remember it's there. It is a house I built ages ago and have used multiple times as it's got lots of space and is good for playing a game in. I redid all of it's furniture in the bedrooms level and then added a basement. Mike's father, Mark, wants a Perfect Garden so I thought he ought to at least have a garden. I'll play their household for a while before going back to Chocolate Cake Island. I want them to have another baby while I'm playing them. Also it'd be nice for his little sister to age up to child. She's been to the boarding school and is ready but still has 46 days to go. Also Mike has just aged up to child so I suspect I'd better wait a while. I might age her up when I'm about to leave them and go back to playing Oscar. The two younger toddlers still have to go to boarding school to learn their toddler skills so I won't be aging them up just yet. I was going to say Mike is related to Eric but he isn't. Eric is descended from Patience and Gobias. Mike is descended from Marty and Marcie. Marty and Patience were originally married and Haley is their daughter. Haley and Mark are half siblings. And Haley is Eric's aunt, but he isn't related to Mark. But he knows Mike and so does Oscar now as they met him at the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island.
While I was playing Mark's household it occurred to me I hadn't really shown you around the boarding school on Moonfall Island.
Chocolate Cake Island Boarding School (where Oscar lives now)
That big building with the flat roof across the street from the boarding school is a HUGE indoor garden that belongs to the boarding school. I might need to thin out the harvestables growing there a bit to help reduce the lag too.
That's where Elouise came from. I haven't actually introduced you to Elouise either yet. She's the one who turned up in Erewhon to rescue Oscar and took him to Chocolate Cake Island.
Moonfall Island Boarding School is important for the story because I dumped a way too many sims who were about to age up and had no skills in the Chocolate Cake Island boarding school and then could barely open the world. So I grabbed a few of them and dumped them temporarily in the new build in Moonfall Island. I put them there instead of sending them home so I wouldn't forget to go get them and move them back to Chocolate Cake Island once I've moved most of the current students out and back to their own homes.
Some of the grown up residents of the Moonfall Island Boarding School. They are all new Sims and need training.
Jack is the one exception. He's a really old sim and probably is highly skilled. He's in it because he is the wealthiest sim in my library. But I don't like him and only grab him if I need a lot of simoleans in a hurry and don't want to bother with cheating. I just don't like the look of him - in his normal state. I discovered giving him new hair and skin made him look much better and now I'm happy to play with him. I didn't realise how much I dislike that hairstyle. I had it on at least 3 of my male sims and I always avoid playing them and now I've removed it and given them all new hair and I'm happy to play them. So I think I'll avoid that hair in future.
Kaylie is actually a made over and renamed version of my sim Paula who has the Evil Child from the Wishing Well.
There were a few more new sims in this lot but the game moved them out so I won't worry about them. All the more room for the extra children, teens and toddlers I need to stash there.
There is one other resident of this particular boarding school. It is Gaylord Koffi. I was trying to get the family trees all organised and got Craig to collect the graves of Gaylord and Gobias Koffi and take them to Cake Island where I added them both to the family trees of all of Gobias's children and grandchildren. I had Gaylord just to add an extra level to the family trees. Then something happened to Gobias's ghost. I don't now where it went and his picture is no longer in the family trees but his name is there and Gaylord's picture is above it. I made Gaylord a playable ghost and added him to the household in case he vanished too. Then later on I just made him human again. So he's wandering around the Moonfall Island boarding school as a living adult sim. You'll see him in the video - I don't have any screen shots with him in it.
I found a lot of unused video of the boarding school in Moonfall Island. Since that is going to be talked about from time to time I thought I ought to show it to you and introduce its occupants. So the video will start off with Oscar in the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island and then it'll travel to Lucky Palms before wafting over to Moonfall Island for a while and then back to Oscar and that'll be the end. It will be a colourful and informative video - but I have to do all the hard work on it yet so it'll be at least a couple of days before it is ready to be posted.
@Charlottesmom I enjoyed seeing your Sims 4 pics. I have thought of launching it a few times but I think I need to get a new battery in my laptop first. I only have the base game.
I've been reading through everyone's posts and hitting Awesome and Like. But I've been feeling a bit disoriented for a couple of days. Hopefully things will improve soon.
That's it for now. I need sleep - it's about 11:30 pm and I know for a fact the dogs will be jumping on me at around 5 am if I'm lucky. I think they start trying at around 4:30 am. So I need some sleep.
@meerkattime -Great update! @msbeckycat -Great update! @Springfairy556 -I've had high free will break from having too many sims in town once before that save become corrupted and it can happen if there's too many sims in the household on slower computers or just from turning the EA bugfest on.High free will is know to cause other issues like sims not doing what they're supposed to and trying to override your orders with their own which is mostly why I put it on low.The issue with large dogs glitching out free will dosen't affect everybody and is usually the standard bathtubs and hasn't affected the combos for me.Great update!I always refuse to let story progression enable until I import my settings through Overwatch and it's for all of my NRaas Mods.I also export all though overwatch.I use NRaas Register to control wild horses or stray populations. @Charlottesmom -Great picture!Great TS4 update! @PalmArrow -Great update! @emorrill -I've got to get back to my apocalypse challenge to get them into their first winter. @Brandontaylor -I have them studying skills online from a study skills online Mod I use in my games from MTS.Great update! @Nikkei_Simmer -Great update!I'd seriously ask about finding another medication if that was an issue with mine. @plushtrap_107 -I just have to have snowboots and snowpants if it snows or I won't even go out in it. @CravenLestat -Great pictures! @Silverofdreams30 -Great pictures! @lanlyn -I've had to set my towns up for new games.It's how I make that new CC and how I got live drag enabled bunkbeds. @HillyBeth -Great update! @Breazona -I tend to have sims living on community lots if they can't find homes though I only get new sims trying to move in if I go into edit town and move them in manually. @king_of_simcity7 -Great pictures!Great update! @Karritz -It's great that you're getting rain and that you might get into the game.
Here's a map tag view showing how full my town is in it's first fall season.

Lynn: This house...Its amazing! I love farm houses!
Ryan: Let's go inside.
Ryan: You like?
Lynn: What do you think?
Ryan: If that's the thank you, I'm gonna get.Maybe I should buy you more houses.Come here beautiful.
Neither one felt like cooking, so they went down to the local cafe.
And ordered coffees to go after eating dinner.
Ryan: Wanna walk the shops?
Lynn: They look closed.Its almost 9.
Ryan: We can do it another time then..Lets go home.
First night in Riverblossom and this happens.
Ryan was sick of the constant thiefs, so this time he took matters into his own hands.XD

The Cowboy and the Mermaid
I'm starting to get ready for my drive north. It's just on 2 weeks away now. Plenty of floods and cyclones to go through now as the cyclone put the fires out apparently - but it was mostly rain by the time it hit the coast. Still did damage though. So far the road is open all the way up but I need it to stay that way for another couple of weeks.
Mickey and Mia went to the dog park today. There were a lot of dogs there and they seemed a bit confused. It's been such a long time since we went there regularly due to Mia's injury. She got into a bit of a scrap with a few other little dogs and started limping badly again so we went home. By the time we got home, about 5 minutes drive, she'd decided not to bother with the limp any more so it can't have been too bad an injury this time. Maybe she just got a fright.
Yesterday I managed to get my next video together. It isn't quite as I'd planned. I was going to record video of Oscar at the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island. But it was lagging badly so I got him to play with Mike for a while so they at least know each other. I wanted them to become friends but I decided not to fight the lag. I got Elouise to take Mike and the fluffy white dog to Lucky Palms. That's two gone from the totally overstuffed lot. The dog's owner has moved to Lucky Palms and left the dog behind because I like him and like seeing him roaming around the lot. But I my computer isn't coping with 23 sims including two large dogs in the household.
This is a picture of Snow, the fluffy white dog that used to live at the Chocolate Cake Island boarding school, I might get him back there one day.
I delivered the dog to Shirley. She was living alone in a tiny house in Lucky Palms. She has heaps of simoleans and the house was still default super low quality basic contents. So I gave her some nice new stuff to replace all the low value things it had already and added a few things for the dog and left them to it.
Oscar in the Chocolate Cake Island Boarding School
Then I moved Mike in with his parents. I came across him riding his bike to a park I didn't know existed. It is very pretty with red dirt and lots of cactus. Very colourful. He came across a few Sims I recognised and then his father turned up so he went and said hello to him. Then I merged him in with his family. They are living in a house I placed on an empty lot across the street from Heather's place. Mike's family home goes invisible so I have to remember it's there. It is a house I built ages ago and have used multiple times as it's got lots of space and is good for playing a game in. I redid all of it's furniture in the bedrooms level and then added a basement. Mike's father, Mark, wants a Perfect Garden so I thought he ought to at least have a garden. I'll play their household for a while before going back to Chocolate Cake Island. I want them to have another baby while I'm playing them. Also it'd be nice for his little sister to age up to child. She's been to the boarding school and is ready but still has 46 days to go. Also Mike has just aged up to child so I suspect I'd better wait a while. I might age her up when I'm about to leave them and go back to playing Oscar. The two younger toddlers still have to go to boarding school to learn their toddler skills so I won't be aging them up just yet. I was going to say Mike is related to Eric but he isn't. Eric is descended from Patience and Gobias. Mike is descended from Marty and Marcie. Marty and Patience were originally married and Haley is their daughter. Haley and Mark are half siblings. And Haley is Eric's aunt, but he isn't related to Mark. But he knows Mike and so does Oscar now as they met him at the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island.
While I was playing Mark's household it occurred to me I hadn't really shown you around the boarding school on Moonfall Island.
Chocolate Cake Island Boarding School (where Oscar lives now)
That big building with the flat roof across the street from the boarding school is a HUGE indoor garden that belongs to the boarding school. I might need to thin out the harvestables growing there a bit to help reduce the lag too.
That's where Elouise came from. I haven't actually introduced you to Elouise either yet. She's the one who turned up in Erewhon to rescue Oscar and took him to Chocolate Cake Island.
Moonfall Island Boarding School is important for the story because I dumped a way too many sims who were about to age up and had no skills in the Chocolate Cake Island boarding school and then could barely open the world. So I grabbed a few of them and dumped them temporarily in the new build in Moonfall Island. I put them there instead of sending them home so I wouldn't forget to go get them and move them back to Chocolate Cake Island once I've moved most of the current students out and back to their own homes.
Some of the grown up residents of the Moonfall Island Boarding School. They are all new Sims and need training.
Jack is the one exception. He's a really old sim and probably is highly skilled. He's in it because he is the wealthiest sim in my library. But I don't like him and only grab him if I need a lot of simoleans in a hurry and don't want to bother with cheating. I just don't like the look of him - in his normal state. I discovered giving him new hair and skin made him look much better and now I'm happy to play with him. I didn't realise how much I dislike that hairstyle. I had it on at least 3 of my male sims and I always avoid playing them and now I've removed it and given them all new hair and I'm happy to play them. So I think I'll avoid that hair in future.
Kaylie is actually a made over and renamed version of my sim Paula who has the Evil Child from the Wishing Well.
There were a few more new sims in this lot but the game moved them out so I won't worry about them. All the more room for the extra children, teens and toddlers I need to stash there.
There is one other resident of this particular boarding school. It is Gaylord Koffi. I was trying to get the family trees all organised and got Craig to collect the graves of Gaylord and Gobias Koffi and take them to Cake Island where I added them both to the family trees of all of Gobias's children and grandchildren. I had Gaylord just to add an extra level to the family trees. Then something happened to Gobias's ghost. I don't now where it went and his picture is no longer in the family trees but his name is there and Gaylord's picture is above it. I made Gaylord a playable ghost and added him to the household in case he vanished too. Then later on I just made him human again. So he's wandering around the Moonfall Island boarding school as a living adult sim. You'll see him in the video - I don't have any screen shots with him in it.
I found a lot of unused video of the boarding school in Moonfall Island. Since that is going to be talked about from time to time I thought I ought to show it to you and introduce its occupants. So the video will start off with Oscar in the boarding school in Chocolate Cake Island and then it'll travel to Lucky Palms before wafting over to Moonfall Island for a while and then back to Oscar and that'll be the end. It will be a colourful and informative video - but I have to do all the hard work on it yet so it'll be at least a couple of days before it is ready to be posted.
@Charlottesmom I enjoyed seeing your Sims 4 pics. I have thought of launching it a few times but I think I need to get a new battery in my laptop first. I only have the base game.
I've been reading through everyone's posts and hitting Awesome and Like. But I've been feeling a bit disoriented for a couple of days. Hopefully things will improve soon.
That's it for now. I need sleep - it's about 11:30 pm and I know for a fact the dogs will be jumping on me at around 5 am if I'm lucky. I think they start trying at around 4:30 am. So I need some sleep.
Happy Simming all.

Courtney was wearing something different
The usual 'aging down'
Aging back up and not the correct hairstyles
Jasmine will also feature
Lynn: This is a little awkward....We haven't shared a room yet....
Ryan: And why not? You're my fiance...
She still feels a bit awkward around him, and never really thought about sharing a room together...even after getting engaged.XD
But she slowly opened up a bit more, and was willing to try.

All for today
@msbeckycat -Great update!
@Springfairy556 -I've had high free will break from having too many sims in town once before that save become corrupted and it can happen if there's too many sims in the household on slower computers or just from turning the EA bugfest on.High free will is know to cause other issues like sims not doing what they're supposed to and trying to override your orders with their own which is mostly why I put it on low.The issue with large dogs glitching out free will dosen't affect everybody and is usually the standard bathtubs and hasn't affected the combos for me.Great update!I always refuse to let story progression enable until I import my settings through Overwatch and it's for all of my NRaas Mods.I also export all though overwatch.I use NRaas Register to control wild horses or stray populations.
